Trading factions can offer a service (for a fee) to any
character, regardless of level, to travel between two powered starports
owned by the faction on any planet. This service is also available
between any two powered NPC-owned starports for
travel between race homeworlds only or FROM an NPC-owned starport
TO a powered starport owned by your faction and
set 'open to crewlist & faction' or 'open to all'. Travel from a faction
owned starport to an NPC-owned starport
is not possible. Travel from an NPC-owned starport
to a faction owned starport open to 'crewlist'
only is not possible.

Any character entering a starport is able to
access, from the docking bay, a list of possible destinations and the
corresponding price and estimated travel time. Upon choosing the
destination, a StarSpeeder 3000 shuttle is created at
that point the character and any party members are immediately moved
onboard, and the full travel begins. Upon arrival, the character and
associated party members are moved into the starport and the shuttle is
no longer available for use.

Trading factions can grant or restrict the access of specific
characters to particular starports by using the
possibilities offered by the crewlist or public access feature. For
example, if a starport is set to "open to all",
then any character will be able to select it as destination. If a starport
is set to "faction members" then only the members of the trading
faction owning the starport will be able to
select it as destination. Finally, if a character is on the crewlist of
a destination starport then he will also be
able to select it as destination.

The following table summarizes all possible combination of travels
when using the NPC Transport service. All starports are supposed powered
and not under construction.
